Why we should invest in green and renewable energy now? Supertyphoon Yolanda is but a gentle reminder

Savings from oil and coal importation

                     
                          Naderev "Yeb" Sano weeps at climate change conference


While a lot has been said (only said, only ngawa) on use of green, clean, renewable energy, other nations, and even locally is minimal if not zero.  I write/blog on pollution in MM but the same level of pollution exists.  In recurring talk about the energy power sectior/industry in the PHL, a lot of influence is being exerted on DOE, or by DOE itself to disregard renewable energy and clean energy.

Do we anything serious to remove smoke belching jeepneys and tricycles, or at least minimize their emissions.  I guess none.

Air pollution and smoke belching has something to do with carbon emissions that contribute to global warming;  global warming means there is more energy in the Pacific Ocean that breeds stronger typhoon.

But I have seen realities of stuborness towards realities and external change. In a thesis defense by a graduate student regarding a powerplant in an island province using bunker fuel, nothing was mentioned about future plans to adopt clean technology.  As we know, bunker fuel while cheap is dirty.  She mentions something about the workings among cooperatives and Energy Regulatory Agencies being difficult to deal with and having a mindset favoring old technologies

So we cry and do hunger strike in foreign lands in Warsaw, Poland climate change conference while   right at our hometown, we also do nothing.  Napoles must be more qualified to handle these problems:  the Malampaya energy fund, and carbon credits trading (wow daig si Mam Myriam)

But there are disturbing news:    US to oppose mechanism to fund adaptation to climate change in poor countries
